Obama's anniversary gift

Barack Obama brought his wife Michelle Obama close to tears with a beautiful video message to celebrate their 25th wedding anniversary.

The former president surprised Michelle with a prerecorded clip while she was talking with the screenwriter Shonda Rhimes on stage at a womens conference in Pennsylanvia.

“I had to crash this party because today we have been married for 25 years,” said Obama, whose message was broadcast on a big screen. “The idea that you would put up with me for a quarter of a century is a remarkable testament to what a saintly, wonderful, patient person you are.”
